Minnesota Egg Salmonella Outbreak
A Minnesota egg Salmonella outbreak has sickened at least six people and led to an investigation linking the illnesses to Larry Schultz Organic Farm, which supplies Byerly's, Lund's and Kowalski's grocery chains in the Twin Cities with natural organic shell eggs.
A joint press release from state agriculture and health officials said the outbreak strain of Salmonella Enteritidis was traced back to Larry Schultz Organic Farm of Owatonna, where environmental testing confirmed the presence of Salmonella Enteritidis. Larry Schultz Organic Farm has issued a voluntary recall of products, (see below.)
The Minnesota egg outbreak victims became ill between August 12 and September 24. The illnesses occurred in both children and adults, and all are residents of the seven-county metropolitan area. Three of the case patients were hospitalized but have since recovered. Five of the six cases have reported eating eggs from the Larry Schultz Organic Farm purchased at grocery stores or co-ops.
Eggs affected by this recall were distributed to restaurants, grocery stores, food wholesalers and foodservice companies in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.
